Landing gear and hydraulic system on Eurodrone...

Liebherr-Aerospace and Airbus Defence and Space have strengthened their relationship by signing a contract for the development and manufacture of the entire landing gear and hydraulic system for the European medium-altitude, long-endurance remotely piloted air system (MALE RPAS) Eurodrone. For Liebherr-Aerospace, this cooperation marks a new milestone in the unmanned air systems market. Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH has been selected by Airbus Defence and Space to supply the landing gear and hydraulic system for the Eurodrone. OEM Liebherr is responsible for the development and manufacture of the main landing gear and nose gear, including actuation, steering and electronic control, as well as the electric motor driven pump (EMP).

... And EMP pump 

The hydraulic power supply for the Eurodrone is purely electric. Liebherr's EMP pump is at the heart of this new power system. The EMP is part of a range of innovative and scalable solutions offered by Liebherr for decentralized electro-hydraulic power. The EMP can be installed much closer to the individual consumers than conventional motor pumps. The advantages are higher efficiency, lower weight and lower noise emissions. These features are essential for the Airbus Defence and Space MALE RPAS Eurodrone. As a quad-national project (France, Germany, Italy and Spain), the program is intended for flights in unsegregated airspace and will give Europe its own capabilities in the growing sphere of unmanned aerial systems. Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH is Liebherr's competence center for flight control and actuation systems, landing gear, gears, gearboxes as well as electronics. The first delivery of the Eurodrone is scheduled for the end of this decade.
